Operation Yummy Bountiful Garden

Yesterday Josh and the boys worked on the garden.  Mostly adding compost, chicken poop etc to make the soil better.  They also redid the herb garden since it was getting full of tree roots.  Sean was impressed with the tiller!  They all had a blast playing in the dirt of course!  Sean and Jack liked "helping" shovel the dirt too.  Jack was actually a pretty good helper.  That should come in handy this summer hopefully.  Sean also showed a genuine interest in helping, hopefully that will continue.

They planted the first row in the garden.  We ordered all our seeds yesterday and will start them in the house/on the porch when they arrive.  Until then though they planted a row of carrot seeds on tape.  This was fun for the boys and something they could help do.

All in all it was a fun and DIRTY day!!  I'm eager to see everything grow and eat it all!!  They boys are eager too.  It's also nice to see them show an interest in yummy healthy food...carrots, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, blueberries...  Bring on the yummy fresh produce!!
